Tangent

atanx → asinx

Returns an expression with atan(x) rewritten as:

atan2asin(Expr)

Example:

atan2asin(atan(2*x)) returns

atanx → acosx

Returns an expression with atan(x) rewritten as:

atan2acos(Expr)

tanx → sinx/cosx

Returns an expression with tan(x) rewritten as sin(x)/cos(x).

tan2sincos(Expr)

Example:

tan2sincos(tan(x))

gives

sin(x)/cos(x)

halftan

Returns an expression with sin(x), cos(x) or tan(x) rewritten as

tan(x/2).

halftan(Expr)

Example:

halftan(sin(x))

returns

Trig

trigx → sinx

Returns an expression simplified using the formulas

sin(x)^2+cos(x)^2=1 and tan(x)=sin(x)/cos(x). Sin(x) is given

precedence over cos(x) and tan(x) in the result.

trigsin(Expr)

Example:

trigsin(cos(x)^4+sin(x)^2) returns sin(x)^4-
sin(x)^2+1
